Celebrating Champions for NSCC!
On November 19th, the NSCC Foundation hosted its fourth annual (and first virtual!) Champions for NSCC Celebration, featuring the presentation of the prestigious Champions Award to three distinguished honorees: Dr. Sheldon Brown, NSCC Professor Emeritus; The Women's Fund of Essex County; and Benjamin Patton of the Patton Veterans Project. This year's event raised more than $70,000, with net proceeds benefiting NSCC's Here to Help program for student essential needs.
The resilience of our students, our college, and our honorees shone through this year's celebration. Check out this amazing video NSCC: The Power of Resilience featuring students Flavia Sanabia-Liranzo and Kobe Weiss, and SFS's Allissa Flint-Kummel. You will come away inspired and ready to be a champion for NSCC too!
Special thanks to Presenting Sponsors Eastern Bank, Comcast (producers of NSCC: The Power of Resilience), The Loring Family, and R.T. Paine and Barbara Metcalf.

Welcome to the
Equality & Equity Project
As part of our commitment to Anti-Racism, Diversity & Inclusion, the Equality & Equity Project will provide historical and present-day information about the contributions, challenges,
culture, and daily lives of the many vital groups that make up our NSCC community,
and the larger world.
We invite you to visit often, reflect on what you see and read, discuss it with others and, hopefully, expand your knowledge base, appreciation, and understanding of groups beyond your own.
Think About This...
Mexican-American labor leader and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez raised farm laborers' struggles for humane working conditions to the national consciousness. In 1962, along with Dolores Huerta (an activist to this day), he co-founded the National Farm Workers Association, which later merged to become the United Farm Workers labor union.
If you have any questions or comments on NSCC's Equality & Equity Project, please contact us at EqualityEquity@northshore.
